This link appears to be broken.

I think might really help in getting people to try and use Self if:

- when you download Self on OSX, it would be one file (a .app wrapper) 
and you could simply double click on it to start Self. (no messing with 
environment variables, etc.)

- there was a command line version that accepted script files and can 
be used for writing web scripts (yes, the web is a crummy UI - but it's 
useful)

- these features would be supported by the maintainers of Self 
directly, so users have confidence that they will continue to be 
supported

Just suggestions,
-- Steve
